ty.
It is a certainty that Mr. Baggett
will run for the office of senator, but it
is not known definitely that the other
gentlemen will be candidates. There
are three straight democrats in tnc
race for senator. There are seven
old line democrats in the race for
county treasurer and three for repre
sentative.
Just why the gentlemen named have
seen fit to return to the democratic
party this year and become candidates
for office at the same time is a matter
of conjecture.
The men named above as probable
ctaiulidates for office are honorable,
upright, intelligent men. The only
thing connected with their cadidacy
which causes surprise and comment is
the suddenness of their announcement
after their decision to vote in the dem
ocratic primary.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 28.—It was stat
ed by the officials of the State De
partment of Agriculture Wednesday
that it would bo several days before
they could positively determine wheth
er the fruit crop had been seriously
damaged by the cold.
It is thought, however, that only
slight damage was incurred, and that
the loss would not amount to over
25 per cent, of the crop.
Owing to the fact that the orchards
in the northern part of the state are
still in the bud it is believed that they
will not be extensively damaged. Many
of the trees in the southern part of the
state have blossomed, but as no damp
had preceded the cold. It is not thought
that there will be any considerable
damage.
Crop Not Damaged at Barnesville.
Barnesville, Ga., Feb. 28.—The
ground was frozen hard and there was
ice everywhere here this morning, the
thermometer registering about 25.
Much itneasiness has been felt on ac
count of the cold predicted by the wea
ther man for - tfifc^fruit crop in this
vicinity. This Industry has grown
to such proportions within the past
few years that the loss of a crop
means almost a calamity to the com
munity. With a successful yield the
orchards here will produce quite three
hundred cars of peaches, which will
turn loose many thousands of dollars
among the people.
